Search only in the current channel (current scope)

By default, if you do not specify a scope to search in, the search is done over all scopes : Thus all channels, all external sources, etc.

If in your java code, you want to specify to only search below your current channel, you can achieve this as follows:

HippoSolrClient solrClient =
      HstServices.getComponentManager().getComponent(
                    HippoSolrClient.class.getName(), "org.hippoecm.hst.solr");
HippoQuery hippoQuery = solrClient.createQuery(query);
String scope = request.getRequestContext().getResolvedMount().
                               getMount().getCanonicalContentPath();
hippoQuery.setScopes(scope);
